WHOA. ICE agents in Milwaukee were communicating by Signal on the day Judge Dugan was arrested for showing a defendant out a side door.

It is monday morning, which means I have again done the thing which I am known to do www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Sounds about right.

The games industry brings in 300 billion dollars a year. The guy who made DOOM gets his projects canceled, the guy who made Katamari Damacy is broke, everyone in your feed is begging for a job and there are 50 new games coming out on Steam every day all going towards buying Gabe Newell's next yacht

when a poor person uses food stamps for a steak or homeless person spends $5 on a beer, it’s seen as proof that all poor people are so bad with money that they shouldn’t be given any, ever, for any reason. $77 billion out the window, and zuck’s legacy as a safe government contract bet is secure.

There’s a specific mechanism in authoritarian movements that we’re seeing play out in real-time across American media and tech. It’s a simple rule: "If we cannot co-opt it, we must destroy it." It is the logic of "scorched earth." It's the logic of the Nero Decree and it's happening right now. 🧵

The people whose political compasses largely revolve around trying to kick people out of places are getting lonely?

One citizen said that federal agents in Idaho pointed guns at her children, ages 6 and 8, and dragged her 14-year-old daughter out of a truck and zip-tied her. The mother told investigators that an agent threatened to “fucking blow your head off.” By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

Bovino admitted to lying about a rock-throwing incident used to justify deploying tear gas against protesters Everyone associated with the Trump administration is a lying asshole, they're corrupt to the core & deserve to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law abcnews.go.com/US/border-pa...

I'm sorry that your insipid baby brained touchbutt McDonald's wrestling from the sex trafficking cult company disappointed you so much. Welcome to adulthood. Why did it take you so long to end your parasocial relationship with the sex trafficking cult?

Just reverse it. Galloway is a highly successful podcaster, a drop in a much larger ecosystem. Don't three-hour long podcasts making youth unsociable, content to stay home and not engage? Do youth look at success of Pool or Rogan or Tate and ditch education to become podcasters? LIKELY.

Same with claims "ditching education and careers." Most people who are on OF are doing it for extra money, often to pay for things like tuition or to support themselves while they build careers. Just as with the bar owners, he believes what he wants to believe, speaking over the people who live it.

The "1/3 women outside a major city" claim is just straight up baseless. OF doesn't release data like that and the numbers would have to be astronomical. This is weird male anxiety used as justification for censorship and repression.

At the risk of sounding stupid this kind of thing is why I post about writing porn when I write porn. When they slam the Internet shut on porn it's sex and sexuality they're trying to stifle; they're foreclosing on the possibility of adults being free people, and it behooves antifascists to say so.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

As a Minnesotan, eradicating ICE is the floor for earning my vote. Not negotiable, mandatory. If you're a state official and you're not calling for the nat. Guard to be deployed against ICE them fuck off.

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

We gotta do a nationwide inquest into antisocial behavior. Leaving your dog's poop on the street. Not returning shopping carts. The What's Wrong With You initiative

Real “finger on the pulse” moment for national Dems. Truly a wonder why the slightly less corrupt, slightly less fascist party doesn’t poll better.

In a HUGE win for federal workers, our essential services, and working people across the country, the bipartisan Protect America’s Workforce Act has passed the House! The fight continues in the Senate. When we fight, we WIN!

[tapping earpiece] I'm just now getting a startling revelation about the shocking thing in common between those who work forces and those who burn crosses

Nuzzi wrote an article in Sept 2024 glazing Trump as her lover was negotiating for a role in his administration. According not only to Lizza but Nuzzi herself, she was helping RFK with these negotiations!

If what he's alleging is true (Nuzzi hasn't denied any of the accusations about her ethics as far as I'm aware), he should have come forward with it *sooner.* It's an extremely big deal that a national news reporter was actively aiding the campaign of an anti-vaxxer!

I know the WH demolition feels like a 1,000 news cycles ago, but let’s not forgot how batshit this is. The National Trust for Historic Preservation is stepping up to fight this reckless project. It's not about one building. It's about stopping a man who thinks our history is his to bulldoze.

Had a great Theory of Change chat with @molly.wiki about the crypto industry and Trump and also the very strong overlap between crypto advocates and Wikipedia haters. Here's the transcript, audio, and video: plus.flux.community/p/web3-has-b...

not a lotta people know that david frum has written in favor of the government giving money to couples to help start families. which, when combined with his positions on immigration, makes for one hell of a terrible conclusion

"Mercedes Mone and The Beast Mortos get cozy on first date anniversary" is the top headline on the Observer website right now. The descent into SEO-baiting slop is complete.

it's useful to keep in mind the motivations vary for dems reluctance to get in on weed. for joe biden, it's primarily because he's a million year old catholic that also has specific family issues about drugs. with other dems, it might be, say, "we want a steady supply of free prison labor"

1. wow they're desperate 2. lmao remembering everybody going "biden REALLY actually wants to get this done" and him sending a memo to xavier becerra to just start looking into if it's possible or not and get back to him whenever is all he could actually do

omens I see in the wild: every youtuber who used to make videos about drama in influencer families or the top 10 original disney channel movies is now making videos about jeff epstein or the greed of the billionaire class

thinking about that cop union leader in california who was not just caught smuggling fentanyl, but that she was using official police stationery on her messages for smuggling fentanyl. everybody in power is so used to getting away with everything they don't even try to do coverups now

decades of elite impunity to any kind of consequences has caused a tumble down from "create a conspiracy behind the scenes to extend a hostage crisis so you can win an election, does not get confirmed for years" to "sitting senators just admit out loud that we tried to coup another country"

there's a very funny pattern you can sometimes find where people will tell you obama's majority wasn't a real majority, we had a bunch of 'not real' dems. but to get back to a majority we need to go right to win seats and oh hey we just recreated the same 'not real' majority that can't do shit!

republicans spend decades trying to accomplish shit and go through endless failed votes to push things in that direction, dems tell their base "look once you give us insane miracle majorities we can get started on doing the stuff you want and we always promise, till then, ehhhhhhh"

mind bouncing back and forth trying to calculate the exact percentage of motivation for dems caving on the shutdown in trade for this vote was "oh god we can't let the filibuster be touched" and what percentage was "i am not going to miss a single minute of thanksgiving vacation"

rolling in my head the kind of leaps from info that could lead people to believing something like this would work and landing on "disney has seen the insane numbers on youtube frozen family stuff and believes those numbers are from actual interest and not autoplay from parents keeping kids busy"

Giving Trump the courts will lead to more mass shootings, example umpteen

I have never watched this since it was the Spike TV Video Game Awards, and I will never for the life of me understand why people pay hundreds of thousands if not literal millions of dollars to have their commercial shown to an audience of gamers that is easily among the most hostile and toxic of all

The Texas Supreme Court said in October that judges may decline to perform marriages based on their religious beliefs. In response, Denise Hernández, a queer Latina judge, threw a Big Gay Wedding Party. With the @19thnews.org, we sent a fabulous photographer. thebarbedwire.com/2025/12/10/b...

the dev can't flag this review anymore, but other users can. link to the review: steamcommunity.com/id/breakzora... cite Steam's policy back to them: help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view... "Do not direct abuse or insults at other players, developers, or groups."

I think “speak to your fake dead relative” might be the most evil application of “AI” i’ve seen so far

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam This is where we're at now.
